Legal Fees in Personal Injury Cases
Published: 6/30/2022
We believe in transparent legal fees. We promise not to charge you a single penny unless we make a recovery for you. At Bourne Law Firm, we understand that the financial burden of a personal injury can be overwhelming, and we believe that everyone should have access to quality legal representation, regardless of their financial situation.
Contingency Fee Structure:
Our contingency fee structure is designed to provide you with the best possible outcome while minimizing your financial risk. Here’s how our fee structure works:
-
Flat Rate of 33 and 1/3% for Pre-Suit Settlements: If we are able to reach a settlement with the responsible party or their insurance company before filing a lawsuit, our fee will be a flat rate of 33 and 1/3% of the total settlement amount. This means you keep the majority of your compensation, while we cover our costs and are fairly compensated for our work.
-
Sliding Scale with Maximum Fee of 40% if there is a Trial: In some cases, it may be necessary to go to trial to achieve the best possible outcome for your case. In these situations, our fee structure changes to a sliding scale, with a maximum fee of 40% of the total recovery. This ensures that you are not overburdened by legal fees while still benefiting from our extensive trial experience and advocacy.
Benefits of a Contingency Fee Basis:
There are several benefits to hiring an attorney on a contingency fee basis:
- No Upfront Costs: You don’t have to worry about paying any legal fees or expenses upfront, allowing you to focus on your recovery and healing process.
- Aligned Interests: Our success is directly tied to your success. We are motivated to work diligently and efficiently to obtain the best possible outcome for your case.
- Reduced Financial Risk: You only pay legal fees if we successfully recover compensation for you. If we don’t win, you don’t owe us anything.
- Access to Quality Legal Representation: Regardless of your financial situation, you can have access to experienced and dedicated attorneys who will fight for your rights and interests.
